Biodiversity and ecosystems are intrinsically linked, as biodiversity is a key component of ecosystem resilience and function [1], and both are simultaneously impacted by environmental threats like climate change and habitat destruction {fact:1, fact:4}. Furthermore, ecological restoration efforts aim to improve both biodiversity and the health of ecosystems [2], and they are jointly considered in frameworks for sustainable diets [3] and ecological management research [4].

claimEcological restoration projects aim to return ecosystems to their natural states, which enhances biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
claimHabitat destruction reduces biodiversity, while pollution and climate change alter ecosystems, making them less stable and less capable of supporting life.
ESS Subtopic 6.2: Climate change – Causes and Impacts mrgscience.com 2 facts
claimEcosystems with greater biodiversity are more resilient to climate change because multiple species can fill similar ecological roles, ensuring function is maintained even if some species are lost.
claimClimate change impacts ecosystems at local, regional, and global scales by altering ecosystem resilience, shifting biomes, and changing species composition, productivity, and biodiversity.
